Can we assume that you are not in any rush to buy one? The Tesla
looks a lot more interesting with its 0 to 60 time of something like 3
seconds. On the other hand the Chevy would make one heck of a power
pack for battery powered Field Day operations. :-)

The Tesla is amazing. I got to drive one... amazing acceleration! I believe
the realistic range (read lead foot driving) is about 150 miles.

Especially since you could get a Tata Nano for $under $3000, the
interest alone on the difference would pay for the gas as the Nano gets
more than 50 mpg, A/C works too on the $3500 model, as well a s heat.
Even European crash rated.

GM, like the Volt, too expensive and too screwed up to be economically
viable.

But at GM, they keep sucking those tax dollars. Obama style, can you
say charge it to the taxpayer?

Volt/GM is insanity.

Couple people in my neighbourhood drive electric 'Vespa type' scooters.
Weird.. they pass by without a sound. These models seem a bit low powered,
and the owners drive like little old ladies on Sunday.

The first question I have for the Tesla owners is how much does it cost
to remove an imbedded object from the bumper? Zero to Sixty in 3 seconds
is going to be awfully hard to resist.
